Frequently asked
Is the wording prescribed by law?
In council-declared alcohol-free zones, the exact wording is set by your local government area's resolution under the Local Government Act 1993. For private workplaces and venues, this sign follows AS 1319 conventions and is widely accepted. Always check with your council if your area is a declared zone.
Which size is best for a large public space?
The 450×600 mm format is recommended for parks, playgrounds, and event venues where signage must be visible from a distance. The 300×450 mm suits entrances and main pathways; 225×300 mm for secondary or internal locations.
Do I need reflective finish for an indoor workplace?
Reflective grades provide different visibility performance. Choose the grade required by the project specification and site conditions, and confirm any road, traffic or high-risk requirement with the relevant authority before ordering.
Can I use this sign in a licensed venue?
Yes. Licensed premises often designate alcohol-free zones (e.g., dining areas, children's sections, outdoor family zones). Confirm the specific zone boundaries with your local council or licensing authority.
How many signs do I need for a large area?
Placement depends on zone size and entry points. Platinum Signs recommends at least one sign at each main entrance and one per 50 metres of perimeter for large spaces. Contact our team for a site-specific layout recommendation.
What material is best for outdoor durability?
Colorbond and aluminium resist weathering and UV damage. Vinyl is lightweight and affordable but less durable long-term. Lamination adds a protective seal to any material and extends lifespan in harsh conditions.
